Our pup turns one year old today. She celebrated yesterday with sister Cobalt in the local dog park, alternately catching frisbees and snarfing down home-made treats, including meat-and-cheese-flavoured birthday cake (thanks to James and Lori!) and doggie biscotti.
No longer a little puppy, but she’s cuter than when she was a newborn!
So Aardman Studios (of Wallace and Gromit fame) are creating a series of ads trying to change the way people see disability called Creature Discomforts. They’re based on their classic Creature Comforts. Two animated ads, with more coming. Great site too, with wonderful little animated logos.
Drill team horses at the rodeo
(Thanks to Grandma’s generosity, on Sunday PLJ and Grandma went to the rodeo at the Royal Winter Fair. Unfortunately the sightline from the wheelchair section was not great (top level, with the railing right at eye level), and there were no closed-circuit TVs near the wheelchair section, so the show was very difficult for Jon to parse. But Jon wolfed down a big sausage on a bun and ice-cream cone at the fair, and was otherwise quite content.—L)
Nov. 6/07
On Sunday I went to the horse show with my mommy and daddy. Daddy drove the car. I enjoyed the show. I had lunch there. After lunch I went back to see the rest of the horse show. The show was on TV. When the horse show was done they put on the dog show. The dog show is about some super dogs. It was a lot of fun.

…well, the attic of my CDs. I’m currently re-archiving all of files, and I came across this little morsel, compressed in the early days of digital video!
Jon’s 16 months here, still chubby from the steroid treatment he had 10 months prior that brought back our happy little goober.
Now compare and contrast this with the fact that he got new shoes the other day, one half size smaller than his mother’s.
(A couple of very late entries from Jon’s journal.—L)
Sick Kids Oct. 29/07
On Friday I went to Sick Kids with my mom and dad. I went on the elevator. I saw Dr. Deggis. She took a little x-ray for twenty seconds. Dr. Deggis had news channel 24 on. I was watching it. I had a great time at Sick Kids. On Halloween after I go to lots of houses for trick or treating I’m going to watch Wonder Pets.

(He didn’t actually get the 20-second x-ray taken, but he practiced a couple of times.)
Trick-Or-Treating Nov. 1/07
Before going out on Halloween Daddy put the up side down song from Curious George on the iPod. When I went trick-or-treating I got lots of treats. Daddy and Photon went with me. I had a lot of fun. When I got home I started to eat some of my treats. Then I watched Wonder Pets. I didn’t have time to play on the computer because I went trick-or-treating. Tomorrow Friday, November 2/07 is a PD day. This weekend I’m going to spend a lot of time with Photon.

If you’re a dog owner, this list describing the four types of dog vomit is utterly hilarious. Everyone else has been warned.
